Talked to Capitol again today to see if we can get some heads up racing going on. Due to insurance the answer is no. But if anyone wants to stick around til 4pm, a bird in the sky told me we can make a few passes head to head Just a reminder. Track day is Sep. 18th from 11am-4pm at Capitol Raceway. www.capitolraceway.com If we get 75% of the people who said they would come to show up it will be 100 dollars per car.

Hey, I put up a sample stats page up on BenzFanz.com:
http://benzfanz.com/race2006/

When you have stats ready, I will update the page.

If you guys can get a pic of each car, I can put them up. Otherwise, I will juse use stock photos from the Web.

Heck, if you have the time/patience to take pictures from around the car, I can put up a 360-view or if you can at least take still pictures in sequence, I can make a stop-action animation (see my sig for sample prototypes)

Here are the responses I have received so far (I wont list the people that cant come)
Confirmed:
1. FORD GT
2. Dodge Charger
3. CLS55 AMG
4. 04 996TT (modded)
5. Modded 996TT
6. Black Beast (dont know what he's bringin yet, apparently 2 cars)
7. New BMW M5
8. New BMW M6
Not sure if they can make it yet, will know closer to the date:
1. SL65

Sorry to those who cant make it on this date. I will plan another rental in the future.

We need some more benzes! Anybody want to bring a 63? Drove a CLS63 for less than a minute in a parking lot. It was nice but still think the 55 will beat it.

55fanatic

It was realing it in on the video

blackbenzz

Well Rob Allen said the 63 was running quicker in the 1/4 by a couple tenths of a second consistently. We both know the driver in the 55 video wasnt anywhere near good and like you said once he got traction was realing in the 63. The 55 had alot of wheel spin too. All that being said, Rob said the 55 was running 12.8's at the track when I have seen Wayne (on this forum) run a 12.0 stock at one of our rentals. Only time will tell.

blackbenzz

We are just one week away! We may have an E63 comin if he decides to pick it up from the dealer. One of my friends with a turbo 328i may be coming as well if he gets his engine put back together by then (On the quest for 1000whp! Was at 635whp on stock internals before he tore it down to rebuild it for 1000) if not, he'll be at the next event which should be some time in October.
In terms of weather, weather.com is predicting it to be cloudy with a high of 81 with only 10% chance of rain!
